Gangway (1937)

Olive Blakeney: Nedda Beaumont

Quotes 

• Pat Wayne : I'm doing my best, madam.

  Nedda Beaumont : Who cares about your best? It's my best that counts.

• Nedda Beaumont : I see you served Lady Pendragon.

  Pat Wayne : [Looking over Nedda's shoulder at her reference letter]  Oh, yes, I... I did, didn't I?

  Nedda Beaumont : Why did you leave?

  Pat Wayne : Well, you see, her ladyship sort of disappeared.

  Nedda Beaumont : Disappeared? One can't just disappear.

  Pat Wayne : Oh, Lady Pendragon did. It was the strangest thing. But, one moment she was sitting there, and the next moment she wasn't.

  Nedda Beaumont : Well, what of it? A lady can't sit down forever. Maybe she had somewhere to go.

  Pat Wayne : A lot of the family still hold to that theory. But everybody else who goes somewhere has always come back.
